Decorating
You can add refreshing
decorator touches to your
kitchen or bath with
scrubbable wallpaper. It’s
possible to make wall
matched window shades by
using heavy-duty wall
covering, point our Ex
tension specialists at The
Pennsylvania State
University.
The vinyl wallpaper is
heavy and flexible enough to
use by itself for a shade. Or
you can attach it to an
exisiting shade or cloth with
special adhesive. You can
also decorate straight-line
valances with bright pat
terns. Keep the vinyl dean
by going over it with a well
lathered sponge and wipe it
dry.
The Extension specialists
suggest some additional
decorating touches. You
could wrap a large metal
potato chip can for a
wastepaper basket. Or use a
large coffee can for a
countertop mini-garbage
container. Just line it with a
plastic bag or bread
wrapper.

Tricks
looks attractive with the wall
covering placed on one-half
inch fiberboard. Telephone
book covers of the vinyl
material prevent tearing and
add a spladi of color.
If your cabinets are “tired
looking” try cutting panels
of vinyl wall covering.
Apply the panels to the
centers of each of your
cabinet doors. Leave a
margin all the way around.
Finish with painted wood
strip frames. To make the
frames, cut mitered corners
of the wood strips by using a
miter box and saw. This is a
good project to have your
home handyman help with.
Moths Attack Cotton
Moths are still around with
their age-old habit of nib
bling stored clothing. Your
best defense is to clean
clothing and bedding before
storing. According to Mrs.
Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension
clothing and textiles
specialist at The Penn
sylvania State University,
even cotton and blended
synthetics car provide food
for moths if they are not

possible and store unironed.
Items that are not washable
should be drycleaned before
storing. Sprinkle moth balls
into garment bags, between
layers of fabrics in cartons
and into garment pockets.

Mixed feed production is expected to

improvement in cost-price relationships
is foreseen
